Exciting news!

We’re proud to announce our new documentary project “Atomic Veterans." As the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings approaches, the psychological and physical scars of these events—on both sides of the war—remain unknown to many.

“Atomic Veterans” follows two friends, Karin Tanabe and Victoria Kelly, descendants of survivors and soldiers on opposite sides of the war, as they embark on a shared journey to understand the trauma of the past.

Through powerful interviews and personal exploration, the film sheds light on the shared pain of both the “hibakusha”—the estimated 650,000 Japanese survivors of the bombings—and the estimated 200,000 American “atomic veterans” who responded in the immediate aftermath.

The evening included a powerful Q&A with the film’s protagonists, The Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program's Brandon Smith and Royal Ramey, alongside director Kenzie Bruce and members of the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles who generously sponsored the event.

A truly special moment was welcoming the women from Malibu Conservation Camp #13. Seeing them connect with the film was incredible.

At Blue Chalk, we love highlighting impactful storytelling. This Time Magazine article, "This Is Life in America’s Water-Inequality Capital. It Might Be About to Change," really struck a chord with us.

The powerful visuals provide an important glimpse into the struggles faced by the Navajo Nation during the current megadrought. It’s a poignant reminder of the challenges surrounding water scarcity and its impact on communities.

We highly recommend taking a moment to check it out.

The Navajo Nation has first rights to the water around it, yet pays the most and gets the least. Things might be changing.
